The United Nations greatly appreciates the constructive role of Member States in helping to alleviate human suffering. As a partner and donor, Azerbaijan is generously providing assistance to people in need and channeling that support through the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund as well as bilateral and multilateral mechanisms. I thank Azerbaijan for its engagement in UN-led humanitarian response plans. This compassion is making a profound difference in the lives of people around the world. António Guterres United Nations Secretary-General 5 HUMANITARIAN AID AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN There are millions of people in various parts of the Today we are seeing a situation with unprecedented world who suffer from a number of threats and are levels of need and demands on the humanitarian in need of external aid nowadays.

However, the rapid economic development as a result of successful economic and social policies contributed to the development of the country and Azerbaijan turned from an aid recipient country into the donor one. Over the past 15 years, under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan H.E. Ilham Aliyev, multidimensional reforms have been carried out to promote the sustainable and competitive economic development, including the diversification of the economy, complex measures to increase non-oil exports, development of state-entrepreneurial relations, improvement of business and investment environment, stimulation of non-oil sector, including the introduction of incentives for the private sector, the state support to the agrarian sector, and the support for small and medium-sized enterprises. As a result of the successful implementation of the measures envisaged in the adopted State Programs, Strategy, Concept, National Action Plans, Strategic Road Maps and other important software documents, high rates of growth have been observed in the Azerbaijani economy over the last decade. The gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 3.6 times in real terms during this period, while the share of the private sector in GDP reached 83.8 percent in 2017. This rapid economic development has led Azerbaijan to transform into an active member of the international community and support initiatives and activities focused on the international development. As a modern state, the Republic of Azerbaijan has a new image of an emerging donor country delivering its aid to the people affected by natural and man-made disasters in different parts of the world, as well as to the countries facing economic difficulties. The country is assisting a number of countries on various bilateral and multilateral basis and is closely involved in the global development process. Different forms and different types of assistance (technical, humanitarian, financial etc.) to foreign countries are provided by separate state bodies of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan, as an active member of donor community,

    CONTINUING IMPUNITY Azerbaijani-Turkish offensives against Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh Baroness Cox 24 April 2021 An addendum to ‘Ethnic Cleansing in Progress: War in Nagorno Karabakh’ (Cox and Eibner, 1993) CONTENTS Acknowledgements page 1 Introduction page 1 Background page 3 The 44-Day War page 3 Conclusion page 27 Appendix: ‘The Spirit of Armenia’ page 29 1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to record my profound sympathy for all who suffered – and continue to suffer – as a result of the recent war and my deep gratitude to all whom I met for sharing their experiences and concerns. These include, during my previous visit in November 2020: the Presidents of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh; the Human Rights Ombudsmen for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh; members of the National Assembly of Armenia; Zori Balayan and his family, including his son Hayk who had recently returned from the frontline with his injured son; Father Hovhannes and all whom I met at Dadivank; and the refugees in Armenia. I pay special tribute to Vardan Tadevosyan, along with his inspirational staff at Stepanakert’s Rehabilitation Centre, who continue to co-ordinate the treatment of some of the most vulnerable members of their community from Yerevan and Stepanakert. Their actions stand as a beacon of hope in the midst of indescribable suffering. I also wish to express my profound gratitude to Artemis Gregorian for her phenomenal support for the work of my small NGO Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, together with arrangements for many visits. She is rightly recognised as a Heroine of Artsakh as she stayed there throughout all the years of the previous war and has remained since then making an essential contribution to the community.
